Hi.





The standard antibiotic creams for rosacea are very effective either orally ( a tetracycline) or topically ( metronidazole).


The do not however ';cure'; the conditon - so prolonged treatment may be needed.





If you have not yet had oral antibiotics then ask your Dr for a prescription.





If that fails to work then you need to consider that the diagnosis is not correct - ask for a second opinion or for a referral to a dermatologist.

look @ this site all r no chmical %26amp; hav worked!natureswondersoyessentials.com simply smelly goods!! sometime u need to get away fm chemicals. this has worked for different skin condtions %26amp; like urs. they do candles but hav more.
Have you ever tried any products from Arbonne? I only ask as a friend started to use the Intelligence line and has said it's the only thing that has helped calm her Rosacea. I also know someone who said that the baby line they carry is the only cure for her Rosacea. Worth mentioning.
Use the most gentle skin care products you can . Cut down (or cut out) caffeine . Eat fruit and veg with orange flesh eg mango, apricot, squash.
Try taking a Vitamin B Complex supplement. B Vitamins help keep the skin healthy. Also, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) deficiency in particular, has been linked to acne rosacea.

Another supplement worth trying is Evening Primrose Oil, the active constituent, GLA has anti-inflammatory properties and can help with inflammatory conditions such as acne rosacea.

Zinc will also help (15mg, preferably with copper) all skin conditions.





Also, it you can get hold of a marigold (Calendula officinalis) cream or a german camomile (Matricaria chamomilla) cream, or a Bach flower remedies cream it might help. Camomile and marigold both have soothing anti-inflammatory properties. And the Bach original flower remedies Rescue Cream has been known to help with some inflammatory skin conditions.

Another one is 'Golden Camomile' (chrysanthellum indicum). A cream containing an extract of this plant has been shown to be effective in clinical trials of patients with acne rosacea.

Hope this helps. Best wishes.





Edited:


Also: Demodex mites have also been implicated in rosacea. Getting a doctors assessment on this would be a good idea as treatment might need to follow a different course if demodex mites are involved.


There are some natural creams also for acne rosacea linked to demodex mites:
